I’ve gotten a lot of feedback since writing that post – as well as requests for more categories. Most of the blogs featured in the last edition were in the design category, so I have decided to compile a new list containing 45+ entirely new websites and magazines that will pay you to write for them.

Payment ranges from $40 – $1,000+ and I also indicate whether payment details were confirmed on the website. Most of the sites featured will pay you upon publication or acceptance of your article. There are websites in new categories including health, tech, freelance writing, blogging, pet, travel, business, finance, music etc.

Your guest posts can be published on Be a Freelance Blogger as long as they’re focused on the subject of freelance blogging or something relevant. The minimum length accepted is 500 words but longer guest posts tend to do well.

You’ll be paid $50 per post and you’ll also be allowed to have a link to your website in your bio. You can find more info here.

The Renegade Writer is a top blog for freelance writers. They pay writers to contribute guest posts on freelance writing-related subjects.

Blog posts over 800 words are preferred and you’ll be paid $50 via Paypal if your submission is accepted. Unlike other websites, The Renegade Writer prefers you to send the post directly via email instead of pitching an idea first – in other words, you should be familiar with the website first.

You can find more info about guest blogging for The Renegade Writer here.

BootsnAll will pay you up to $50 to contribute a travel article. There are different types of articles you can contribute and the maximum is $50 for a feature article. You’ll be paid via Paypal if your article is accepted.

You can find more info on the articles accepted as well as how to pitch your articles here.

GoGalavanting is a travel website that pays you to contribute an article. You will be contacted within 3 weeks of your article being accepted (if you don’t hear anything after 3 weeks, your article has not been accepted).

GoGalavanting pays a maximum of $50 an article and you can find more information on contributing your article here.

You’ll be paid $100 to contribute your business-related articles to YourOnline.biz. Payment will be made the month following the month your article was accepted. You can find the contribution guidelines here.

You’ll be paid up to $60 an article to contribute to blogs on the Matador Network. You can write about almost anything that can be found on the Matador topics page. You can find more info on contributing to the Matador Network here.

You’ll be paid $50 per post to contribute your travel articles to Literary Traveler. Payment will be made 5 – 6 weeks after the month your article is published. You can also submit as many articles as you like.

You’ll be able to decide whether you want to get paid for your writing or whether you want a link back to your site. If you prefer to be paid, you can make more than $50 per 300 – 700 words article. You can possibly make more depending on the length of the article and the difficulty in writing it.

If, however, you want exposure for your site you can have up to 3 links back to your website in your article.

You’ll be paid $100 per post to contribute typically 1,500 – 2,000 words articles. You’ll also be allowed to have a link to your website in your post bio and payment will be made on publication of your article.

Graphic Mania is a top design website that pays you to submit design articles and tutorials. Payment will be discussed when you pitch your article and you can find out more about contributing to Graphic Mania here.

Hongkiat is a top web design website that will pay you for your design articles and tutorials. Hongkiat prefers articles to be around 800 – 1,000 words and you can read more about contributing to Hongkiat here.

Now this is a nice list for writers Oni. It’s still fresh in my memory the initial list post you did – thank you for helping your readers and I’m confident that they’re going to enjoy applying for these opportunities.

BTW: I discovered that you’ve changed your domain name. This looks fine. When are you going to change your banner to suit this new domain name?

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, bro!

Yep, I’m loving the new domain name! I’ll be changing the logo soon; with something basic in a few days’ time and something more professional when I redesign.

We haven’t talked in a long time bro!

http://contentmarketingup.com Michael Chibuzor

I’ve been too busy bro. But hopefully, we’d chat soon on Skype.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Yeah, I noticed too! I haven’t really been available on Skype but I noticed you’ve been kind of silent online lately. Hopefully, we’ll have an update soon

Tasty new list, Oni!

I’ll add a link to it on my guidelines page, where I also have leads to more paying markets.

Proud to say I recognize at least four of the markets above as bloggers who were motivated by my own campaign to encourage pay for blog posts in their decision to start paying guests! I feel really excited to be helping to open new paying markets for freelance writers.

If you’re a blogger — consider paying for guest posts! It’ll set you apart, get you noticed (as you see here), make you friends, and get you better quality posts.

Get paid, people — writers of the world, unite!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Aha, thanks Carol!

I spent over 24 hours – spread across two weeks – researching and compiling this list and I really appreciate your helping spread the word. Thanks!

Yeah, you’re indeed making an impact in getting blogs to start paying for guest posts and as a result leading to a lot more writers getting paid for their work!

I’ve also considered paying for guest posts but had to put an halt on it since forming a team here – I’ll definitely be considering it again in the future, when I have time to moderate posts coming as a result of being featured on lists like this.

http://www.coloryourlifepublished.com Flora Morris Brown

Hi Oni,

You did it again! You’ve created a tremendously valuable resource, especially with the travel writing publications.

Thank you for the research and for sharing so generously.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Flora!

This took a bit of effort to research and compile but I’ve gotten a lot of requests for blogs in other niches since publishing the last one and I’m glad this is finally live

http://Mindsetcapsules.blogspot.com Michael

Oni is at it again. Great list. Thanks a bunch.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Michael!

http://makemoneyonlineng.com Adesoji

This is a well researched post. Thanks for doing your best to make this available to writers

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks bro! You’re welcome

http://www.haelix.com Halina

This is an amazing list, Bamidele; thank you for posting it! This list could easily have been marketed as a paid-for e-book, so I truly appreciate you providing it for free to everyone. I’m definitely looking up these writing sites and recommending your list to my writer friends.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Halina!

Aha, yep this list could have been paid but I believe it can make a lot more impact – for me and my readers – if it’s published freely and I’m glad I did.

Thanks for spreading the word about it, Halina! I appreciate it

http://effectivefinancialmarketing.com Criag

Great post, Dele. Now, I know what you were referring to when you wrote about resource posts. This is a perfect example of one. It presents simple and direct solution to finding paying gigs in a single post and on a platter of gold.

I bet this post will be evergreen. I see it bring more traffic two year from now.

Keep the good and hard-work up.

Cheers.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Aha, thanks bro!

Yeah, I think this is a great example of a resource post; it’s very useful and people love it! And yes, based on what I’ve seen so far I think it’ll eventually become more popular than the previous post that now has over 70,000 views.

http://esuccessworld.com Ekene Ilochonwu

To be sincere bro, what I’m seeing here is not just a highly informative list but an obvious product of diligence. I’ll emulate this your simple but yet effective strategy to see if I’ll achieve a similar result. Thanks for publishing this costly article free of charge.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Aha, this is one of my best work to be honest. It took a lot of effort and I’m glad you noticed that. Thanks!

http://www.writeyourrevolution.com Sarah Russell

What a great list, Oni! Thanks for putting this together and for including my site

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Sarah!

http://www.bloggingslogan.com/ Sagar Rai

Onibalusi, otherwise I would have published it on my blog

You are fast this time.. Anyways in future will see to that I get such ideas in my mind before do..

http://snitchim.com Eric Pangburn

Hey!

This is a great list, just wondering have you ever actually personal experience with any of these sites?

Thanks again for this wonderful list!

Eric

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Eric!

I don’t have personal experience with most of the websites listed.

http://effectivefinancialmarketing.com Criag

With a number of the websites on list falling within my sector of choice — finance, I can confirm that these websites are real; notably motely fool.

http://www.mydailycuppa.com Victoria @ My Daily Cuppa

This is a fantastic list – Thank you for taking the time to put it all together.

I am currently looking to book my very first paid Guest post and this will certainly help me on my way

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Victoria!

Please let me know if this post is of help in the future

Pkumar

Well, it is indeed a good article, but for those who are already established and are professionals, I guess, but what about someone like me, a rookie, a newbie to writing world now I cant dare to submit my articles, to a company that would pay $50/ article, I need smaller companies list that would accept freshers, may be paying less. and over a period once i gain experience , get some expertise, I can approach these companies, makes sense?????

Eva

Don’t sell yourself short…$50/article is not much if you are a good writer, even as a first timer. Thanks for this list Bamidele

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks for replying, Eva!

@Pkumar I also agree with Eva. As long as you believe in yourself then it won’t be difficult to get published on these sites; you also have to constantly work on improving your writing skills, though.

pkwrite7

Well, I guess it’s not about under selling, over selling, short selling, long selling, not everyone would be someone like Donald Trump, Michael Dell., Bill Gates, this world also has Larry Ellison kind of people who worked under someone before actually becoming a CEO, not every one starts off big, or ” long selling” start their careers as CEO, Chairman etc, some would take time, to acquire skill, gain expertise, I thought I gave you an Idea, for an article , which would have helped budding writers bring bread to table , tweak rough edges, make a portfolio for themselves and get into writing in a big way, anyways thanks

http://freelancerworkshop.wordpress.com Rekha

Thank you, Onibalusi. This is a useful list, especially for someone who writes in other(non tech) niches. I was aware of some of them such as Salon, Listverse and the travel based sites but this has a lot of new information. With some much angst nowadays over Indian writers even on professional(?) sites like LinkedIn and given my relative lack of experience (other writers have been around for a long time), haven’t really bothered to give these a try. Maybe, I should – a couple of these before this year ends – now that it has been confirmed that we will be spinning across space for quite a while.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Rekha!

Yep, I got a lot of emails from people who thought the blogs on the previous list was too technical so I thought it’ll be great to publish a new list with more categories.

So you can see how you will make unlimited money if you have good writing skills. Because there are too many people are available in market who want something special.

http://www.nairashark.com Deji R Yusuf

Bamidele is someone a respect very well, with this monster post, I even respect him even more! You are so good at what you do!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Aha, thanks bro!

http://lawyerstipshq.com/ Bill Westbrook

That is a big list. I guess it took you a lot of time to gather info about all thouse sites. Thanks for sharing.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Bill! Yep, it took a lot of effort but it’s already paying off

http://www.youreverythingservices.com Deb Lamb

Oni you are rockin’! Thanks for such an amazing list. It will certainly come in handy for many of us. Thanks for all you do for all of us!! Make it a glorious day!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Cool. Please let us know how everything goes

http://www.spontaneousdevelopment.com Tayo Solagbade

I’ve always told anyone who would listen that you’re a genius in this blogging – you’ve got the art, science and business aspects well worked out.

Now this new list of yours makes me suspect now, that you’re also psychic, Oni

My reason for saying the above is that your new list features websites in niches (e.g travel, management/HR etc) I’ve been recently trying to research towards guest posting.

This is something I’ve thought about since I commenced my Location Independent Entrepreneuring across West Africa – starting here in Benin Republic, last week, on 1st April 2013

It’s almost like you’ve been reading my mind!!

I have to say it again: You’re a blogging genius, Oni! No flattery intended.

Keep up the great work!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

I’m flattered bro, thanks!

Aha, it’s funny you found the list timely; another reader emailed me that the list was published at the exact time she needed it so I guess I must be a psychic… lol

Yep, making sure the niches are diverse is something I paid a lot of attention to when working on the list. I’m glad people are enjoying it and depending on how successful this one is, I might release a new list in the future.

Thanks so much for all the support bro!

Best Regards, Oni

http://proeditingservices.ca Rhonda Kronyk

Thank you for your generosity in producing and freely sharing such a useful list.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome!

http://9dollarlogo.com Affordable Logo Design

Oni, Thanks for your great list. This list will help so many freelance writer who has that potential but struggling to make any money. I think if any of those freelance writer can make money and build portfolio, you effort will be 100% successful.

Thanks again.

http://www.makemoneygal.com Destiny

Once again I strike Gold reading your blog. This is such a great and through resource you’ve put together. No wonder why your blog is so successful. You always seem to put 100% in what you do. Thanks!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks so much for the nice words, Destiny!

I’m glad you find the list helpful!

Emz

Nice list, now only if I can be good enough to write articles for these website. Im still a newbie and Im currently using a content mill that pays extremely low. Thanks!!!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re good enough; you don’t really know unless you try, or do you?

http://robertjenningswriter.com Robert Jennings

Great list. This is exactly the kind of thing that new freelancers need to see to reassure them that not all paying sites are content mills. I’m bookmarking this one. Thanks.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Robert!

I’m glad the list could help.

http://studentsurvivaltips.co.uk Alexandria Ingham

Thank you so much for this list, Oni. I’ve seen a few of the sites around and am creating pitches for them but others I’d never heard of so I’ll definitely be checking them out – I think there are definitely some options in the niches I write in.

I only started following your blog a couple of days ago and have been going through previous posts and really enjoy it – so many helpful tips!

Thank you again and I look forward to reading more posts from you.

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

You’re welcome, Alexandria!

I’m glad you’ve found my blog helpful

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

I’m flattered. Thanks!

http://www.geeks4share.com PrIyAnGsHu @ Blogging Tips

Great list Onibalusi. I knew only two of these i.e. Hongkiat and WPMU, the rest of the list are quite new to me. But I must say, if you are passionate about writing on a specific topic, we can go for any of these sites to make some instant cash.

#PrIyAnGsHu

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

I agree

http://www.bloggenerals.com Buklawz @ Bloggenerals

Great post Oni, but the challenge i have is that of most of the listed sites in this article pay via paypal, and you know paypal and some west African countries are not in terms. How have you been able to address this issue as an international writer from Africa?

http://www.onemillionwaystomakemoney.com/ marilyn cada

thanks for the information because i really need them badly.. it is JOhn Gibb who gave me the link about higher paying websites that accepts freelance writing

http://writing.pinartarhan.com/ Pinar Tarhan

Great list! I have to say I love it more than your other list. Yes, I’m biased because I don’t write about design:):):)

Thanks!!!

http://www.youngprepro.com Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Pinar! I’m glad you love the list

olanubi temitope

yep, nice one, but can you get the best list for content mills?

Tyca

hi there… which one you recommend for newbie?

Ajay Goel

Unanchor has stopped paying that much, they stopped such a promotion in Nov 2011.

The Motley’s Fool are very demanding, and it’s hard to get your finance articles approved there for payment

http://www.techalam.com/ Nizam Khan

Excellent post! Awesome websites and well presented list. Thanks for sharing and tweeted

http://www.leadershub.org Abayomi

This is an awesome post Dele, I’m so happy I found it. I will make sure I give it a try. Thanks for sharing

JERRY

I search for hour before i saw your post , your post is inevitable and contagious

http://www.kennythespider.blogspot.com kenny

very informative and helpful list! I was looking for writing sites that pay and I’m glad I was able to find this page. Perfect!

Marsland

All I want to know is.. Does all of these sites really pay? Because I hate writing stuff and then I don’t get paid for it, it’s a waste of time, I need to make some real money for my writing.

http://detailreviewsng.wordpress.com Confidence Okposio

Oni, great list but you know paypal doesn’t work for Nigerians, what do you suggest?

Laurie Tam

You did it again! This list is just as wonderful as the last one. For a while now, been thinking of going back to writing especially since I feel like just doing promotional work in my local area is not good enough. Can’t earn a living with it. I know that with writing, it’s possible. Seen it numerous times of reading what other writers say online. This list, and many others, are great. Keep it up!!!

http://www.writersincharge.com/ Bamidele Onibalusi

Thanks, Laurie!

http://www.generateseoleads.com Aamir Siddiqui

This is really a huge collection of websites that do offer Guest Posting Opportunities and it is really glad to have it. Informative article!!!

Jennifer Alston

Thank you, thank you for this list. I downloaded the PDF version. This is a great starting point for a lot of freelancers. I am personally compiling my list of sources and have been pitching. A lot!!

Also looking at blogging conventions, it seems like a lot of fun.

Aruna

Such a great resource, thanks so much.

https://www.editwriteservices.com Edit Write Services

I have just downloaded an Excel version of the list and will be checking them out later.

Thanks for sharing this types of information. This is very helpful information, not just to freelancers, but, to content writing service providers as well.

Have a great day!

http://thepinthemapproject.com/ Nikki Vargas

thank you for sharing this list! I am a travel writer and freelancer and am always looking for ways to monetize my writing. Will definitely check these out!
